The Ragdoll Foundation is excited to announce its Small Grants Programme for Innovative, arts-based small projects, pilots, or research and development to inform a new project or programme of work.
The Ragdoll Foundation is dedicated to support the creation, appreciation and awareness of imaginative and innovative work that reflects the world from a child’s point of view.
Purpose
The primary purpose is to make grants for charitable purposes that:
- Demonstrate how the concerns of children can be heard through high quality arts engagement projects that put the child’s or young person’s voice at the center
- Evidence the power of arts and creativity and their transformative power for children and young people
- Promote children’s development through their imaginative thinking
- Promote equality of access to the arts and creative experiences
- Encourages innovative thinking and influence good practice
- Ensure effective evaluation of projects to promote sharing and learning
Funding Information
Organizations can apply for up to £ 1,500 for a project lasting up to 6 months. Match funding is not required, but if you do have funding from another source this should be no more than £ 1,500. Projects should have a maximum budget of £ 3,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Ragdoll Foundation accepts applications from not-for-profit organizations based in the UK. They will only fund work that is legally charitable. Organizations that are not registered charities will need to provide a copy of their constitution showing charitable or social purpose. Organizations must be able to provide a full year of accounts.
- As the focus is on funding work that actively involves children and young people, all applicants must have a Safeguarding / Child Protection policy that is regularly reviewed, and be able to demonstrate that adequate processes are in place to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. If your project will be delivered remotely, your safeguarding policy must reference online safety.
